4kAUSE CONSTRUCTION ENGLVEER VG ---� WORK PLAN Sheldon Oil Company - Stockton Site - 2210 E. Miner Avenue ' Back round The Sheldon Oil Company Miner Avenue - Stockton Site is an active asphalt batch plant owned by Sheldon Oil Company and currently operated by Kent's Oil Service. OHM, Inc. removed a 265;000 gallon-underground storage onk1rom the site in 199I, during which approximately 2,000 �- culsic yards?ouoiLwas excavated and stockpiled. (See Exhibit 1, Photos) Samples were taken throughout the excavation and a site assessment prepared by OHM. Analytical results revealed that the major contaminant of concern wasZPH (diesel) at ranges to-7a300 ppm. (See Analysis, Exhibit �- 2) The overall soil matrix is low permeability clayey silt. There is also some debris including con- crete refuse, wood timbers and piping. `- Technolo Overview This site will undergo accelerated enzyme catalyzed metabolic remediation using FyreZymel ` enhanced bioremediation. This process blends specially selected stabilized enzymes with nzym specific nutrients, emulsifiers, surfactants and suspension agents to accelerate the bacterial activity and drastically reduce the time required for normal biological degradation to an average ofik.�Lday or r LM This accelerated bioremedial process will be employed on-site in a totally enclosed, fixed biocell. The proprietary FyreZyme m process overcomes traditional bioremedial limitations by using specially selected enzymes which perform two very important functions: LM 1) They chemically react to cleave the hydroxyl molecule in long chain hydrocarbons result- ing in enzyme-catalyzed metabolic remediation which significantly accelerates the remedia- tion process. In most projects completed to date, contamination was reduced to below action levels within 30 days. ` 2) They break down the physiochemical bonds between the clay platlets by neutralizing the electric charge. This drastically improves permeability and releases the trapped hydrocarbon contaminants, making them available to the bacteria. The process increases the degradation rate of difficult to degrade compounds with a high molecular weight. These conditions are commonly found in contaminants with hydrocarbon chains in excess of C12 such as; aviation fuels; transformer oils; lubricating oils (motor oils) and bunker- fuel oils, asphalts, and diesel fuel under weathered conditions.
